Robotics

We have 5 First Tech Challenge Teams at Forsythe Middle School (two all 6th grade teams, and three 7th/8th grade teams)

Code, Design, and Compete with Robots!

FIRST^® Tech Challenge students work together with their mentors to design and build robots to compete in a dynamic and exciting challenge released every September.

Teams program classroom-scale robots to follow autonomous commands before student drivers take control in two-on-two matches. 

On and off the field, students develop STEM skills, engage in community outreach, practice engineering innovation, and build confidence to help them succeed.

We also have a First Robotics Team (FRC) which is an 8th/9th Grade Team

The Ultimate Sport for the Mind^TM

Starting with a Kit of Parts, teams of high school students design, program, and build industrial-sized robots to play an action-packed game, released in January. They compete on a themed field as part of a three-team alliance in the spirit of Coopertition^®.

In 360-degree learning guided by adult mentors, each FIRST Robotics Competition team also creates a team identity, raises funds to meet its goals, and advances appreciation for STEM in its community.
